Browse Forums Pools & Spas 1 Dec 11, 2015 6:42 pm Hi All, Currently about to build a house and we are unable to put the pool in after the build because of access issues. The builder has said that it is best to get the pool placed in before the earth works start; need to cut and fill the house footprint also. I'm thinking if the pool is dug out and placed before the cut and fill it will cause problems for the pool stability as it is 1.8m from the back of the house. The building company is sending out a surveyor to peg out the pool area with datum heights, but i'm concerned once the earthworks start this may shift the pool. I would have through the earth works would be done first then have the pool dug out and placed. only placed her cause not many people read the pool section.

We haven't built a pool yet but I believe you can do piering on the pool or the house to stop movement.

It gives them a fixed point to work off. Otherwise the slab height turns out different to the plans they usually get the blame.
